Never thought I'd be a fan of 420 stainless , but after testing this blade (strength - ductility - edge retention ) we were impressed . Very comfortable and wish it was 3/16 - .187 thick . Thanks for your video and ATB .
This knife is the perfect tool for bushcraft-no other cutting tools needed. To be honest, I thought it was kind of gimmicky at first, but after seeing it in action I may have to rethink this...great video!
Great video and review Sootch. I also received this knife via Battlbox but I had seen Matt Graham using it on his TV show before I got mine. I wasn’t a big fan (I ain’t gonna lie but it just looked kind of weird) until I used it in the field. Now it’s my go to bushcraft knife. It handles multiple tasks well and it’s easy on the hand. I haven’t tried it as a skinner yet but I’m betting it’ll work great at skinning as well. It ain’t pretty but it works like a hoss. Thanks for sharing.
Great job as always .. looks like a hard working knife .. but I think it needs a sheath with connectivity for your belt .. then again decent sheaths seem to be a problem with a number of big knives .. I have a Cold Steel Smachet .. great knife but I had to have a local guy here in phx area make me a better sheath .. the condor knife looks like a smaller version
I put a hole in the tab and put a 1 foot piece of paracord through it to tie it onto my belt. I’ve used it in the Louisiana Bayou and the Nicaraguan Jungle...it definitely punches above its weight class. Great knife. I carry it in my get home bag.
Great Video !! My Condor Primitive will be arriving tomorrow.... very excited !! I already have the Undertaker and Selkham . Very pleased with both so looking forward to the 3rd !!
First, I'll enjoy watching this even more on your Patreon page. Second, this is a better-sized knife for me than some of the bigger knives. I'm 5'2" so not super short, but some of the bigger knives or longer knives are harder for me to wield. (I'm not giving up though.) I like it! Thanks sootch00 and Matt Graham.
Thanks Nancy! It's a large knife but not heavy so I think it would be a great option for most camp task. My mother is 5'1" and she says Dynamite comes in small packages! Lol! I appreciate your support on Patreon : )
Similar design to mine. I made my first one from a piece of AUS8. My current version is forged using CPM154. I don't sell knives but used to when my forge was up and running. The difference between my blade shape and this knife can be best described by flipping the edge. If the back of the knife was the. Sharp edge it would be exactly like my design. I prefer a long curved cutting edge. My blade has a distal taper that has a 1/4" spine.
Sweet knife, but it isn't the carbon content that allows it to strike a fero rod. A sharp rock or piece of glass will strike a fero rod. Thanks for the review!
Sootch - Sorry, but that is a misconception. 1) IA Woodsman - RUclips Video. Uses Flint, Quartz, Various Steels ruclips.net/video/eltjfIeTsxU/видео.html 2) BushcraftUSA Article bushcraftusa.com/forum/threads/ferro-rod-stainless-steel.40647/ Ferro rod only need: "Something" Harder than rod, Sharp or 90° spine to throw sparks. Doesn't have to be metal i.e. Flint, Quartz. Stainless or Carbon Steel is irrelevant. "Flint & Steel" needs High Carbon content. The "chipping" iron oxidizes & creates hot spark.
With all condor tools, it's a hit or miss on whether or not it'll come with a good edge. But once you put an edge on it they're such great tool, and they're cheap enough that I don't mind beating the crap out of them
I’d love to see you review the smith an Wesson swmp4ls. I bout one 5 months ago and while it’s a bit heavy it is robust. I work on utilities and it is always my go to knife.
"Now that's a knife" !!! LoL....like the looks of it. Looks honestly like something KA-BAR would make. Thanks shipmate, good review & video 👍 👍 👍 God Bless (us all)
Scandi is one of the toughest grinds because it has so much material just behind the edge. It's all about the angle. If you convex the cutting edge, it's going to be the strongest you can get it. I don't recommend that though, it'll really reduce the carving capabilities. On the other hand you can flat grind or convex grind the shoulder and create a thinner edge, increase the slicing ability.
Hey I have a question. I live in the California desert area. Do you have any recommendations on things I can do to start? I’m mainly worried about civil unrest. Riots and such. I’ve trained in martial arts. Firearms and bladed weapons. Have any thoughts?
News flash you dont need any carbon to use a ferro rod. A sharp edge of stone or glass will work with ferro rod. That being said high carbon IS needed for use with flint.
I meant to ask you how are those battlbox I've been considering getting them and sign up for him for years now well not many years the only been a couple but it is very curious about him but I been holding off for a while now and your opinion would you say they're worth it?
The Battlbox has yet to disappoint me. There are some items that I may not use but over all, it's been a great resource to build my Preps plus hand out to friends. It's the best Subscription box for Preppers IMHO. I also like the Survival Boxes. They are simple but have a Dehydrated food box that I've been getting for almost 2 years. It's great piece of mine. Thanks Eric.
My brother great review again. Need to know if you are on dtube if not are you going to have a account there RUclips has closed another 30 big channels they just deleted richiefromboston Channel and have given 2 strikes to Alex Jones and we are change and many others I thank you RUclips is out of control I am going to be creating a dtube account myself
Thanks Doc, There are a lot of options starting to emerge. I'm looking into DTube and others. It's getting more and more apparent that RUclips is out of control, but I'm riding it out! Lol! Of course with back ups in place : )
BigDaddy Herrick dtube is a interface program or should I say website just looks like RUclips in a way but it's ran by steemit a platform blog where you can write articles and so forth and you can earn top dollar
Over the the years I've noticed you have changed head and facial hair styles often, and I have been guilty of making flippant remarks. At around 12:15 that is definitely a Kim jong un cut!!!
Don't take it bad! I would have said the same thing face to face and then got up to get the next round, but I would have drawn the line at getting American (gnats piss) beer!
your scale can weigh how long that is (" the knife is 13 1/4 inches according to my scale") my scale can't weigh the length of objects, it must be incredibly accurate.. lmao!!!
Great knife but we should be talking about our 2 amendment rights that Ohio is about to lose all semi auto firearms ????!!! Why aren’t you talking about this?
American Prepper All these states that are violating the Bill of Rights are going to be in court settling law suits. You would think the states would know better that US Constitutional Law supersedes state law. The Supreme Court is going to be backlogged for these states with corrupt district courts filled with commie judges rather than Constitutional judges.
I'm sure the knife works great. I think most survival knives would work great in a survival situation and that most people are just nit picky. If you gave an Esee cheerleader a $50 Schrade and dropped him off in the wilderness, he would do just as good without his favorite knife. Give a Ka Bar fanboy a Gerber, same thing.. It's not the knife, it's the knowledge. There are guys who wouldn't last a weekend with a $1000 knife.. With that said, that Condor knife is one of the ugliest, if not the ugliest survival knives I've ever seen.

i own several condor products , i am satisfied with their quality , i would recommend their products .
Great knife for the bush and a awesome survival tool too. Thanks Sootch00 and long live the republic bro
Never thought I'd be a fan of 420 stainless , but after testing this blade (strength - ductility - edge retention ) we were impressed . Very comfortable and wish it was 3/16 - .187 thick .

Thanks Jacob, my thoughts exactly. Matt Graham put a lot of thought into the design.
I bought this knife a couple years ago on amazon for $50, and amazon sent me the upgraded 1095 steel version with fiberglassed handle! Love the design
Thank you so much for getting right to it, unlike 90% of people.
Great video and review Sootch. I also received this knife via Battlbox but I had seen Matt Graham using it on his TV show before I got mine. I wasn’t a big fan (I ain’t gonna lie but it just looked kind of weird) until I used it in the field. Now it’s my go to bushcraft knife. It handles multiple tasks well and it’s easy on the hand.

Matt designed a cool knife, I like the model in micarta they offer. Nice review!
Great job as always .. looks like a hard working knife .. but I think it needs a sheath with connectivity for your belt .. then again decent sheaths seem to be a problem with a number of big knives .. I have a Cold Steel Smachet .. great knife but I had to have a local guy here in phx area make me a better sheath .. the condor knife looks like a smaller version
Received mine in Battlbox subscription. ..thanks for preview...will accompany on next alpine trail bugout....
Thanks Luis!
I put a hole in the tab and put a 1 foot piece of paracord through it to tie it onto my belt. I’ve used it in the Louisiana Bayou and the Nicaraguan Jungle...it definitely punches above its weight class. Great knife. I carry it in my get home bag.
Great Video !! My Condor Primitive will be arriving tomorrow.... very excited !!
I already have the Undertaker and Selkham . Very pleased with both so looking forward to the 3rd !!
I’ve seen a photo of a knife sheath in a style of old west Mexican bota half chaps
Nice knife, nice review! Thanks Sootch :)
Would you do a review of the cold steel smacket please
Nice. I like the bolo/leaf shape of the blade. Love all your videos. Keep it up. I would prefer a sheath other than leather though.
that knife and opinel will be a great budget tandem blades!
I always enjoy your videos.

Nice review ... I just got mine and love it too ...
The condor primitive bushcraft knife, 2 thumbs up..
Now that's a knife! I'd have to see what trying to grip it out of the sheath is like, I like getting my whole hand on the handle.
I love mine. If I would've got it first it would've been the only knife I needed
Heard that Southern voice and said “ SCOOOTCH!”
Nice knife Sootch. Thanks for sharing pal. Chief

Thanks for the insight David. Sounds like your quality is top notch!
Are you ever going to make a review on matt Graham big leaf machete?
(Sorry if I sound rude but I haven't seen alot of videos on the machete)
Sweet knife, but it isn't the carbon content that allows it to strike a fero rod. A sharp rock or piece of glass will strike a fero rod. Thanks for the review!
Yes, typical Stainless Steel won't work with a firesteel but the High Carbon SS content allows for the Strike capabilities. Thanks Brother!
Sootch - Sorry, but that is a misconception.
1) IA Woodsman - RUclips Video. Uses Flint, Quartz, Various Steels
ruclips.net/video/eltjfIeTsxU/видео.html
2) BushcraftUSA Article
bushcraftusa.com/forum/threads/ferro-rod-stainless-steel.40647/
Ferro rod only need: "Something" Harder than rod, Sharp or 90° spine to throw sparks. Doesn't have to be metal i.e. Flint, Quartz. Stainless or Carbon Steel is irrelevant.
"Flint & Steel" needs High Carbon content. The "chipping" iron oxidizes & creates hot spark.
Can you do an in-depth review on the KaBar usmc? Maybe some bushcraft tests?
Squeeze the scabbard to flatten it at the moment you pull the widest part of knife out, so you do not cut the scabbard.
Really a nice knife, greetings from italy 🇮🇹
Thanks for watching Brother!
Love that knife! Thanks for sharing. 👍🇺🇸
Thanks Brother!
Excellent review! One good looking tool nice demo
With all condor tools, it's a hit or miss on whether or not it'll come with a good edge. But once you put an edge on it they're such great tool, and they're cheap enough that I don't mind beating the crap out of them
Cool, different but very functional.
I’d love to see you review the smith an Wesson swmp4ls. I bout one 5 months ago and while it’s a bit heavy it is robust. I work on utilities and it is always my go to knife.
Good looking blade but i will stick with my BK9 Kabar. Thanks Sootch and God bless you always.
Got this awhile back from battlbox, great knife.......
"Now that's a knife" !!! LoL....like the looks of it. Looks honestly like something KA-BAR would make.
Thanks shipmate, good review & video 👍 👍 👍
God Bless (us all)
Thanks Fred! Ka-Bar just has so much history behind it. I love it.
Take care my Friend
Sootch, do a review on one of those paracord survival grenades from Amazon. I can't find any RUclips reviews of them. Thanks!
Excellent review!
This looks like a sturdy knife, for heavy jobs, isn't it contradictory to have a "skandi" grind, which is for more precise / delicate cuts?
Scandi is one of the toughest grinds because it has so much material just behind the edge. It's all about the angle. If you convex the cutting edge, it's going to be the strongest you can get it. I don't recommend that though, it'll really reduce the carving capabilities. On the other hand you can flat grind or convex grind the shoulder and create a thinner edge, increase the slicing ability.
@@DepthWave
Thanks for the explanation, I always thought that skandi was delicate, now I know it is not
love mine... hate thefact it has no loop for the sheath. Sent it to indiana to get a sheath made by robert jones hand sewn leather
could you next video be about bow drilling?
I want one now.
Tell you what, I like that blade. Thanks for the heads up brother. I'm looking into it after this video. Thumb's up buddy!~John
As for dr. Seuss, I resemble that remark.
Hey I have a question. I live in the California desert area. Do you have any recommendations on things I can do to start? I’m mainly worried about civil unrest. Riots and such. I’ve trained in martial arts. Firearms and bladed weapons. Have any thoughts?
If you live in California, then you're already screwed 😂 jk
Anybody know what the hole is there for ?
News flash you dont need any carbon to use a ferro rod. A sharp edge of stone or glass will work with ferro rod. That being said high carbon IS needed for use with flint.

Thanks Eric.
So... Basically it's just a machete knife? I have several of those types laying around
What's the price
Top heavy like a Philippine Bolo,so have power then you swing it..Use the gravity and let it work for you...I will buy maby...
Nice review! I have one and I was a little disappointed with it. TX
What is the hole in the blade for?
It’s supposed to represent the eye of the condor. Its a condor trademark
It sacrifices most bushcraft qualities to be a better chopper. I’ll stick with my Junglas 2 and a esee 5.
Good short machete, nice
The tip of this knife is known to snap off frequently
This or the bk9?
Nice video amigo..
I mean you didn't really conclude with a rating ??? Like one to ten ...
My brother great review again. Need to know if you are on dtube if not are you going to have a account there RUclips has closed another 30 big channels they just deleted richiefromboston Channel and have given 2 strikes to Alex Jones and we are change and many others I thank you RUclips is out of control I am going to be creating a dtube account myself
Thanks Doc, There are a lot of options starting to emerge. I'm looking into DTube and others. It's getting more and more apparent that RUclips is out of control, but I'm riding it out! Lol! Of course with back ups in place : )
What is this dtube
SensiblePrepper I agree with you brother 100 percent
BigDaddy Herrick dtube is a interface program or should I say website just looks like RUclips in a way but it's ran by steemit a platform blog where you can write articles and so forth and you can earn top dollar
I have this knife I like it
Thanks Kelly!
SWEET!
Thanks Cliff!
I like the condor knife. But, if they want me to be head over heels over it. Elsalvador needs to get ms13 under control or keep its citizens.
Over the the years I've noticed you have changed head and facial hair styles often, and I have been guilty of making flippant remarks. At around 12:15 that is definitely a
Kim jong un cut!!!
Getting older and less hair is what it is. Of course resembling a North Korean Dictator is a first! Lol!
Don't take it bad! I would have said the same thing face to face and then got up to get the next round, but I would have drawn the line at getting American (gnats piss) beer!
Aaaaaah hell, smoke just one more (want a Twinkie?)
The sheath is more like the argentinian gauchos sheath
I like the knife but i dont like the sheath i would need to have a holster custom made for it!
Coke bottle handle would be perfect.
👍👍
What kind of outdoorsman uses his blade to scrape a fire steel ...eeeek
your scale can weigh how long that is (" the knife is 13 1/4 inches according to my scale")
my scale can't weigh the length of objects, it must be incredibly accurate..
lmao!!!
Not my thing. I will keep my Moras and my Schrade Kukri machete.
Great knife but we should be talking about our 2 amendment rights that Ohio is about to lose all semi auto firearms ????!!! Why aren’t you talking about this?
vote out kasinich, he's an ass.
American Prepper All these states that are violating the Bill of Rights are going to be in court settling law suits. You would think the states would know better that US Constitutional Law supersedes state law. The Supreme Court is going to be backlogged for these states with corrupt district courts filled with commie judges rather than Constitutional judges.
I meant Kasich, old age is a bitch.

It's not the knife, it's the knowledge. There are guys who wouldn't last a weekend with a $1000 knife..
With that said, that Condor knife is one of the ugliest, if not the ugliest survival knives I've ever seen.
2nd
You got the Silver!
No removable pommel. 1/10
Get ready to be banned. Save your videos move to Bitchute, your next
Oh yeah, I have all my videos back up. RUclips is losing it.... but I'll hang in here until the bitter end! Lol!
It's pure junk.
